What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Patients find it difficult, during the pandemic, to receive appropriate nutrition services because of the limited access to health services. This study assessed the effectiveness of a tele-consulting nutrition intervention on the nutrition adherence of patients with diabetes and hypertension. Methods: A tele-medical nutrition therapy (MNT) intervention was conducted as a one-group before-after trial. The estimated sample size was 314. Of these, 183 patients were selected from Hefdah-e-Shahrivar and 131 from Farabi Hospital. Patients were asked to complete an adapted version of the nutrition adherence self-reported instrument to compare nutrition adherence when they received face-to-face therapy versus tele MNT. Results: In total, 166 completed all phases of the study. The results showed that the nutrition adherence score significantly increased compared to before the intervention. Hedges's Conclusions: The present findings showed that providing teleconsulting nutrition services to diabetic and hypertensive patients can positively affect their nutrition adherence. Telenutrition to promote a healthy diet can contribute to effectively controlling diseases in chronic patients during/after the pandemic with no gaps or failures. Trial Registration: This study was a tele-nutrition intervention. In this study, we provided consultation on regular food consumption and did not order any chemical substances or nutritional supplements. Furthermore, we did not perform any treatment or invasive intervention, we assumed that a registration number was unnecessary, so we did not apply for clinical trial registration.
